Although there is no date for a summit due to the high-speed connection between Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura and Portugal at the European headquarters, today the first vice-president of the Board, José Luis Martínez Guijarro, has already announced that the AVE debate which concerns a large part of the Toledo province will be taken to Brussels.
This has been said in parliamentary headquarters, in today’s plenary session of the regional courts, as a result of the debate on a Proposal not of a law relating to the railway in the province of Toledo, a proposal that has been unanimously approved. Through this NLP the Government of Spain is urged to make different investments in the railway line of the province of Toledo.
The project that is proposed to unite Madrid with Lisbon, given the possibility that this train passes through the region, is defined as “essential”, both for Castilla-La Mancha and for the entire country.
Martínez Guijarro has defended the position of the regional Executive, with a “very clear” need to defend infrastructures of this type, with the aim of social and economic development both in the province in question and in the entire community.
Page will once again ask Rajoy for improvements to the train lines
Rajoy will receive many complaints from the regional government and once again, the railway issue will be among them. The first vice president has “advanced” -although it is something that Page already assumed in his day- a new request by the president to the head of the Spanish Government, something that will come “if Rajoy agrees to grant an interview to the president of Castilla -La Mancha ”, an interview they have been asking for, has said,“ for a long time ”.
Guijarro has underlined the defense that the regional Executive makes of “necessary investments” for the province of Toledo, since they support and demand a series of measures so that the train “has the material means and the necessary personnel and attention of an infrastructure typical of the 21st century, “he said.
With the PNL that has been approved today, a box is advanced in the commitments of the Social Pact for the Railroad in the province, which was signed last November both with unions and employers and with different social groups in the region.
Message to the PP for a breach of the Ministry
In addition, the first vice president has reminded the Popular Party that the Ministry of Development “has not fulfilled all its commitments” in response to the demand for a market study and demand for the logistics platform and its territorial fit.
For this reason, Guijarro has reproached the popular that Minister Íñigo De la Serna “has only advanced part of the functional study of the railway terminal.”
Employers and unions await the support of the proposals in Congress and Senate
Fedeto, CCOO and UGT today valued the unanimous support of the Regional Courts for the proposal of law. “We appreciate the unanimity of the three parliamentary groups present in the Regional Courts and we hope that the claims expressed in the Pact by the Railroad will also receive the unanimous support of the parliamentary groups in Congress and the Senate,” as expressed in a joint statement. .
Both in Congress and in the Senate, reports Efe, a Proposal not to pass a Law and a Motion, respectively, should be debated in a few weeks, which would also demand that the central government budget for this year the investments that the railway line is demanding from the province.
“We recall that the Pact for the Toledo Railway also has the express support of the Government of Castilla-La Mancha, the Diputación de Toledo and the various municipalities affected, as well as those in charge of Toledo IU and Citizens”, in the notice.
